These MSR Alpine Pots are a helpful kind of stowaway.

Discovering certain types of stowaways—like your neighbor's annoying kid—amidst your pile of camping gear in the truck wouldn't be good. The MRS Alpine Stowaway Pots however, are the good kind of stowaway. The Alpine Stowaway Pots have a hinged handle that flips over the fitted lid and locks it in place, so these pots are easy to handle and easy to pack. These scratch-and dent-resistant stainless steel pots stand up to seasons of camping. Choose one size for simple meals, or a combination of different sized Alpine Stowaway Pots for long car-camping or kayaking trips.

Sturdy, functional

We use the smaller one with our MSR backpacking stove all the time and it does what it's supposed to! I wouldn't say it's the lightest thing ever, but it's sturdy and you can pack things inside it so it works for us!

MSR Delivers

Familiarity: I've used it several times

I went with the 775ML model because I wanted the ability to cook an entire can of soup but also be as small as possible. The quality of the pot has so far been stellar. The pot was able to withstand the direct heat of the campfire and not distort. I do wish MSR had incorporated a slight pour spout into the rim. Things can get a little dicey when you're pouring boiling water for your morning coffee. This is me nitpicking but it would be a welcomed alteration. All and all this a great pot that seems like it will last through many years of abuse and use.

Heavy, sturdy, terrible pouring

Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer

Nice heavy duty pot that will last forever. Fine for the typical backpacker, definitely not lightweight. Be really careful pouring out of it as it has a small lip. The 0.7L pot fits well on all stoves from tiny pocket ones to larger basecamp styles, but the bottom is smooth. The 0.7L doesn't fit an MSR Whisperlite but pocket style fit well. Makes a nice bento box too (not leak proof).

Fantastic design

Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer

I've owned a Stowaway for around 15 years. It's been on countless camping trips and day hikes. The locking lid is perfect for storing food or cookware within the pot. The handle can be folded over the pot with the lid off to create a loop handle which can then be used to suspend the pot over a fire if needed. The bottom of the pot is slightly raised in the center which creates a stable contact with stove tops.

Exactly what I needed

Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions

I was looking for an single pot to replace my Alpine 2 set for quick overnight and weekend solo trips. This holds my Whisperlite International stove, gives me plenty of volume to cook solo meals (1.1 L).

Best all around cook pot

Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer

The 775 ml is perfect for one person and is in my pack on every trip. After three years of farily hard use their is minimal wear on the pot. I pretty much always use it with a backpacking stove and hardly ever use it to cook over an open fire. All in all a great cooking option, I will definatly buy another when mine kicks the dust.

Good for one person!

Not the lightest pot, but great!

Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer

I have the 775mL version of this pot and have beat the crap out of it. I gladly sacrifice ultra-lightness for the fact that it's not aluminum and that you can beat the crap out of it. I love how everything latches down... I can fit my primus stove, spices, matches, tinder (dryer lint, seriously, I go steal it from the laundromat by the armload because it works so well) potholder and napkins in here no problem. I usually use it for solo camping or boiling water for a couple of people...anything more than that and I'd buy a bigger one. I'd buy it again and again, but I haven't had to because this one has lasted me three years! Four stars because when you try to pour water over it, unless you have the dexterity of a brain surgeon it's gonna make a bit of a mess.

Solid Pot

Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions

Had a chance to use this for the first time over the weekend. I purchased the 1.1L, and it seems to be a great size for 1-2 people, might be a little small for anymore than that. Boils water great, balances well on my PocketRocket, which was a concern initially. Also, the PocketRocket and a canister of fuel fits inside perfectly, so its a good space saver. It is a tab heavy, being stainless steal, but I'd say its worth the weight with how well constructed it seems to be. All in all, solid, simple product.

Great Idea But Pours Terribly

Familiarity: I've used it several times

Well built, stainless steel and not aluminum (never use aluminum to cook with), handy snap. I got the one quart. However, the inside rim on the top has a little dip that goes inside the pot, this prevents a steady flow of water out, especially when pour hot water into a small opening. The water doesn't pour straight out, it runs along the outside of the pot and misses the intended hole such as a coffee mug or Nalgene. Bad design on the rim. Burnt my hands a lot. I have been an avid backcountry and mountaineer cook for 20 years and never had this problem. Would not recommend it.

Durable, Functional and Well Engineered

Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer

I have been a fan/user of MSR for a number of years. Their products are bomb-proof and executed brilliantly. I lived in a MSR Twin Sister tent in NE Washington near the Canadian border for over a year and extensively used the MSR Alpine Stowaway. It performed admirably in conjunction with my Optimus Nova+ as well as over a campfire.

my go to

Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer

this is my go to pot for trips, especially when snow melting is involved. holds lots of snow for quick melting, good sizes for 1 pot meals, and holds my stove (usually a pocket rocket) and fuel cansiter or other accessories nicely. Lid secures perfectly.

Good buy

Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer

I got this on sale, and I love it. I've used it countless times and its still perfectly fine. I have the 1.1 liter and I take it everywhere. I've dropped it and beat it up pretty good with no real signs of wear, it's very sturdy. It's not the lightest pot but its durable and it works great for a good price.

1.1L compared to Nalgene

Post a Comment

Will these pots nest inside of the others? Specifically will the 1.1L fit into the 1.6l? Or the .775L into the 1.1L? Basically, will they fit into the next larger size, or do you need to skip a size for them to fit into the next one?

Answer Brandon's Question

Not sure on the giga power, but I've used mine over a grate on a campfire and if you're careful and keep it way on the edges it's okay (it got a little blackened on mine but wiped off pretty well). But I don't think I'd put it front and center over a grate. I usually use cast iron for that, if I'm car camping.

Answer Nick B's Question

It really depends on what your needs are but I would probably go with one of the two larger pots. The great thing about pots is they really don't take up that much extra room in your pack because most anything that could be displaced by the size could just be packed inside it.

Answer Jeremy's Question

This would obviously depend on what size fuel canister you buy. I think you would be able to fit one or the other inside of the .775 L pot, but I doubt you could squeeze both in. The 1.1 should be able to fit both if you have a small gas canister though. That being said I only personally own the 1.1L, and have only seen the .775L on display, so I could be wrong.

Answer Duane's Question

We do ship to Canada, however many brands (MSR included) do not permit us to ship their goods internationally, we apologize about that! If you want help finding something similar that we could ship to Canada, hop onto our LiveHelp chat service and one of our Gearheads can show you alternative options.

I have a Trangia open spirit stove with...

I have a Trangia open spirit stove with stand (Dimensions 155mm wide x 85 mm high) I am looking for a pot in which I can actually enclose my stove and stand to save space. With which of these will I be able to do this? I saw the dimensions , but I think that these dimensions are probably outside dimensions and not inner ones.

Post a Comment

Thanks Eddie. About a week after I asked that question, I actually LOOKED at my dads, and it is a 1.6L, not 2L. I also went to Sportsman's Warehouse and tried it out, and the Dragonfly DOES fit in the 1.6 if you fold it up right. My MSR 1.6L Stowaway now sits in my pack with the Dragonfly inside! :)

Answer Nathaniel T.'s Question

The lid fits very tight on these pots. The handle press-fits the lid on and locks down the lid on the pot creating a tight seal. They are great for protecting food against rodents and for organizing your cooking gear. They don't have a waterproof seal and therefore I wouldn't recommend carrying anything liquid in the pot while packing. They are tight enough to keep powder in the pot without getting all over the place. I think the best way to describe these pots are very high quality, well made that you can rely on for many years. They don't rattle and aren't loose in anyway and can be used hard without fear of breakage.

If you are tough on your gear and want something to perform no matter what, these are the pots to get.
